This post is for those who felt like the draft was wayyyy more important than the Royal Wedding.

Yay the NFL lockout is over!!!

No more worrying, my dear football fans.

In this part of the country (the dirty dirty south) we MAINLY stick to College football (ahem, Roll Tide) buuut when it comes to NFL, there's only one team for me and that's WHO DAT!

I found this little geographical map by NFL team and found it very true & uber appropriate for this post.

Accurate. Quite accurate. I love to see that most of Alabama is BLACK AND GOLD. There are a lot of Falcons fans here, too. The few Cowboys fans and random Titans fans but that's about it. The one thing I don't like to see is the large portion of the country that is considered Bronco's fans. Eeew. If there is one thing, I mean person, I can't stand in this world it's Timothy Tebow (vom... gag...).

Did you also see the new NFL stuff for VS Pink? So cute... I saw it on someone else's blog and could not find it online but I am happy to see some Saints apparel. About dang time. Reigning Super Bowl champs did NOT have any apparel last year, what the junk was up with that. Now I can wear VS Pink Saints style and support Mark Ingram!

But I do suppose I can make the Red & black work with most of my gameday attire. Getting me a pair of these ASAP. Along with silver..... and platinum..... ugh, decisions! My trusty gold ones are just getting too much wear and I don't want them to be ruined by next summer & me have to buy a new pair of gold ones. I have also considered a white pair... not not too sure how much wear I will get out of them

I felt the need to share this with the rest of my football loving Jack Rogers fans and also felt the need to display my feelings of extreme unfairness. I think the perfect Bama Jack would be Red with SILVER. I think Red and White would be a little tickytacky looking... like a picnic table.

Sooo I have been housesitting/dog sitting all week (sat-sat) for these people that have 3 dogs and 2 cats (one of which is on it's death bed... meds twice a day and iv bag twice a week). The dogs are VERY VERY needy and so are the cats (duh). Dogs bark, A LOT. Like all throughout the night and anytime they hear a noise or want something... bark and whine and whimper. SOOO annoying and soooo Exhausting. Plus being away from home always makes me feel alone and tired and just blah after a few days.

Aside from that I also had my first big event today since I have been in the marketing department. I have been working on this event 1.5 months. It was our company's mid-year Recharge meeting. We have an Annual Meeting every January & Recharge in July!

Let's see what I had to do for the event: design logo, design and order t-shirts, decorations, supplies, games, agenda, sponsor signs as well as ANY printed material needed, stuff goody bags, set-up, take down ... plus much more. I am beyond tired! It was a lot of fun & great experience but I am happy to be done with it and moving onto to FULLY concentrating on my next corporate event which is sneaking up on me... less than a month and a half til the next one, which is in Denver & I won't have to attend buuuut lots of work to do before then!

So in case you were wondering our theme was "camp" so it was called Camp ADTRAV! No party or craft store has anything camp themed so I had to use some creative improv for my table decorations.

The tables had mini camp-fires that I made with sticks and tissue paper :)

Last week I got my hair cut. I got her to stack it, I had been toying with the idea for awhile buuut wasn't too sure. I told her I did not was a big stack, just a small one.... so voila! as always she does exactly what I want...

I am just now happy to be in my OWN home and OWN bed and will get a great nights rest tonight with my fur baby!!!

That right thur my friends, is my favorite line in my most favorite emails. Just got a friendly reminder that one of my friends invited to Rue La La made their first purchase and in return, I got a $10 credit. Oh Cha-Ching! Big baller right hurrrr.

Okay, so $10 is only going to pay my shipping buuuut still. It's my favorite email! Also, I love the email it sends when you're friends actually join -- ya know, the one that says "they're in!" or something like that.

God bless Rue La La and all the amazing time it has given me procrastinating from work and even sometimes from play. God bless the feeling that I get when I see a boutique I love opening soon. God please also bless when I get all upset cause I think I am not going to be online right at 10 am when a boutique that I have been waiting for and most likely will sell out in 10 mins opens. Bless it.

If you aren't a member of Rue La La then you are for seriously missing out. It's basically amaze-balls.

Here's the low down: invitation only website, offers to great sales on designers, new designers every day, every designer has their own boutique on there so they are easy to find, boutiques are only open for 2 days and they open at 11 am Eastern time on their opening day. You get daily emails about what boutiques are opening THAT day and you can also get reminders when a boutique you like is coming. My most favorite part is that if you have purchased from a specific boutique or sent yourself a reminder they send you an email saying "guess what is coming back" next time that particular brand or designer has a boutique.

Welcome

Just a 20-something in Sweet Home Alabama. I am a recent college graduate trying to become a "young professional." Public Relations degree in hand, I work in the marketing department for a travel management company. My number one love in life is my sweet fur baby Lexie. Tied for second is Alabama football and Disney World. I am a wanna-be fashionista with an eclectic eye. Reader, writer and cupcake connoisseur. If I could trade places with one person for a day I would choose Carrie Bradshaw, I just hope she wears a size 8 shoe. One day I want to run a half marathon, see the Northern Lights, visit all 5 Disney parks, write a book and put my feet in the pacific ocean. About Me's are always awkward but that parts over.
